Federal Communications Chairman Julius Genachowski said in a speech at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas on Wednesday that the agency planned to free up unlicensed spectrum in the 5 gigahertz band in order to improve wi-fi service both in terms of speed and capacity. ... |

| Internet co-creator says U.S. broadband competition has ‘evaporated’ Posted: 09 Jan 2013 08:46 PM PST Vint Cerf, the legendary computer scientist who co-created the TCP/IP networking protocols that serve as the Internet's foundation, isn't afraid to speak out about controversial issues. And now Ars Technica reports that Cerf this week took aim at the state of competition for broadband services in the United States, which he said has "evaporated" since the days of dial-up. "I have to tell you that in the 1990s there were 7 or 8,000 Internet service providers because the Internet was provided through dial-up," said Cerf, who currently works as Google's (GOOG) Chief Internet Evangelist. "If you wanted to switch you just changed the telephone number you call. When broadband came along the number of choices you had telescoped down to one or two: either |

| SiriusXM expects to add 1.4 million subscribers in 2013 Posted: 09 Jan 2013 05:36 PM PST (Reuters) - Sirius XM Radio, the largest U.S. satellite radio provider, said it expects to increase the number of subscribers by about 6 percent in 2013 and raise its revenue by about 12 percent compared to its estimate for 2012. Analysts expect the company, which is being taken over by Liberty Media Corp, to report $3.82 billion in revenue for 2013, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S. The satellite radio operator said its 2012 results are likely to meet or exceed its earlier outlook. In October, it had forecast $3.3 billion in revenue for 2012 and about $700 million of free cash flow. ... |
| Shipments of the Pebble smartwatch to begin on January 23rd Posted: 09 Jan 2013 05:28 PM PST The Kickstarter-backed Pebble smartwatch was originally scheduled to ship out to customers in September. The device, which can display and interact with apps on Android and iPhone smartphones, raised more than $10 million and received an overwhelming number of pre-orders, forcing the company to stray away from its originally planned schedule. At the Consumer Electronics Show on Wednesday, CEO Eric Migicovsky announced that the first batch of Pebble smartwatches will be shipped on January 23rd to its more than 65,000 Kickstarter backers. The company expects to have Pebble in the hands of all backers within 6 to 8 weeks. Migicovsky also revealed that the team has added a variety of goodies to the watch, such as a magnetometer and ambient |

| Polaroid’s Jelly Bean tablets could give Google a run for its money Posted: 09 Jan 2013 04:23 PM PST Polaroid isn't typically a name that comes to mind when people think of Android. While the company has released a few Android-powered cameras, it has never fully embrace the operating system. Times are changing, however, and the iconic company is doing its best to survive in a new world. At the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Nevada this week, Polaroid announced two new Android tablets that look to compete with Google's (GOOG) Nexus devices. The 7-inch and 10-inch devices both include 1280 x 800-pixel IPS displays, a 2-megapixel front-facing camera, a microSD slot and Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. The smaller M7 tablet is equipped with a dual-core processor and 8GB of internal storage, while the M10 features a quad-core CPU, |

| Google chairman to North Korea: Tear down this firewall Posted: 09 Jan 2013 03:36 PM PST Google (GOOG) chairman Eric Schmidt isn't just going to North Korea to play its hot new Crazy Taxi-like video game — he's also apparently there to promote Internet freedom. The Associated Press, via CBS News, reports that Schmidt was part of "a private delegation" that is "urging North Korea to allow more open Internet access and cellphones to benefit its citizens." Former New Mexico governor Bill Richardson, who accompanied Schmidt on his trip to North Korea this week, told the AP that he has told "a variety of foreign policy officials" in the country that "the citizens of the DPRK (North Korea) will be better off with more cellphones and an active Internet."

| DOJ tells companies to stop seeking sales bans for standard essential patents Posted: 09 Jan 2013 02:40 PM PST The United States Department of Justice is wondering what part of "standard essential patents" tech companies don't understand. Per Reuters, the DOJ and the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office this week put out a joint policy statement saying that companies should only be entitled to modest monetary compensation if others use their standard essential patents, and that they shouldn't use those patents to seek outright sales bans of rivals' products. The agencies' reassertion of this principle is notable because Google (GOOG) last week agreed to stop using the standard essential patents acquired from Motorola in offensive patent lawsuits against competitors. Standard essential patents, for those who don't know, cover key technologies that entire industries need to use in order to operate. |

| Foxconn worker arrested in bribery probe Posted: 09 Jan 2013 02:01 PM PST Hon Hai and its manufacturing subsidiary Foxconn are the subject of a bribery probe in China, the company confirmed on Wednesday. According to a statement given to The Wall Street Journal, authorities in China are investigating the alleged bribery of supply chain companies by Foxconn employees. "We are working with law-enforcement officials who we brought in to work with our own internal audit team as part of an investigation into allegations against a number of Foxconn employees related to illegal payments from supply-chain partners," Hon Hai said in its statement. "We are also carrying out a full review of our policies and practices to identify steps we can take to strengthen such measures to further mitigate against such actions." It is unclear |

| Redbox Instant by Verizon set to launch in March Posted: 09 Jan 2013 01:36 PM PST Shawn Strickland, the CEO of Redbox Instant by Verizon (VZ), revealed at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas on Wednesday that his company's streaming movie service will arrive before the end of the first quarter of 2013, according to VentureBeat. The service, which has been restricted to an invitation-only beta for the past month, will compete with similar offerings from Netflix (NFLX), Hulu and Amazon (AMZN), among others, however it will also have the advantage of utilizing Redbox's 42,600 kiosks located throughout the country. Redbox Instant offers customers unlimited access to 7,500 "streaming and transactional movie titles," along with four DVD rental credits each month for $8 per month. Strickland said that the service plans to initially focus on movies, although he did |
| T-Mobile CEO says iPhone to launch within 3-4 months Posted: 09 Jan 2013 01:08 PM PST T-Mobile CEO John Legere confirmed on Tuesday evening that the nation's No.4 carrier will finally launch Apple's (AAPL) iPhone in the next three to four months. Speaking with Reuters, Legere declined to provide a firm launch date for the iPhone. When asked about the timeframe for releasing Apple's smartphone and doing away with handset subsidies, however, the executive did offer some guidance. "They're all, I would call them, in three to four months as opposed to six to nine months," Legere told Reuters. T-Mobile confirmed last month that it would finally begin selling Apple products in 2013, though the carrier did not clarify when launches will occur or which specific devices it will be sold. |
| Don’t count gaming consoles out in 2013 Posted: 09 Jan 2013 12:35 PM PST Gaming consoles had a rough year in 2012 as sales reached 34 million units, a 24.4% decline from 2011. Research firm IDC believes that sales will rebound in 2013 and 2014, however. It is predicted that with the Wii U and the rumored launch of Microsoft's next-generation Xbox console, consoles sales will increase in 2013 by 10.1% to 37.4 million units. Sales are expected to further increase in 2014 to 44.6 million units, representing growth of 19.1%. "2011 and 2012 were tough for many console game disc developers and publishers," said Lewis Ward, research manager of IDC's Gaming service. "With the advent of eighth-generation consoles, starting with the Wii U, historical norms strongly imply that game disc revenue will stop bleeding |
| Samsung sets sights on RIM’s corporate users Posted: 09 Jan 2013 12:06 PM PST Now that Samsung (005930) has bested Apple in the consumer smartphone market, at least where shipment volume is concerned, the company is setting its sights on Research in Motion's (RIMM) corporate user base. The company is investing heavily in enterprise devices that incorporate a higher level of security and reliability than consumers require. Various government agencies and corporations aren't fully sold on RIM's upcoming BlackBerry 10 operating system and are still unsure if will satisfy their needs. As a result, they have begun to explore alternatives for their employees. "The enterprise space has suddenly become wide open," Kevin Packingham, chief product officer for Samsung Mobile USA, said in an interview with Reuters. "The RIM problems certainly fueled a lot of |

| An iPhone priced below $200 would devastate RIM and Nokia – and Apple’s margins Posted: 09 Jan 2013 11:41 AM PST Both Bloomberg and the Wall Street Journal now believe Apple (AAPL) is seriously considering launching a cheap iPhone. Speculation about this has been going on for years. But the probable price range mentioned by Bloomberg is a huge shock: The rumored retail price range of $100 to $150 is far below what had earlier been assumed. The iPhone 5 tends to sell for more than $700 in emerging markets. The 2-year old iPhone still costs more than $500. That is the reason why iPhone market share is fading below 5% in major markets like Brazil. But industry experts had widely assumed that the retail price of a low-end iPhone would be somewhere around $250 to $300. Even this would trigger |

| RIM to launch six new BlackBerry 10 devices in 2013 Posted: 09 Jan 2013 11:14 AM PST Research In Motion (RIMM) has wisely decided not to put all its eggs in the high-end basket and will be releasing a wide range of smartphones selling at different price points this year, FierceWireless reports. At the Consumer Electronics Show this week, RIM CMO Frank Boulben said that his company plans to release six different BlackBerry 10 devices in 2013 that will include phones in the high, medium and low prices ranges. Having low-end BlackBerry 10 devices is particularly crucial for RIM if it wants to expand upon the success it's had over the past year in emerging markets such as South Africa and Nigeria, where the company is coming under pressure from a flood of low-cost Android handsets. |
